In the afternoon it was shop for souvenir time. We went to a souvenir mall which was vintage Costa Rican. The rain squelched out outreach plans.
We went to the church for drama practice. After that half of us came home for dinner, and the other half volunteered to go to dinner with four Tico families from the church who opened their homes for the Americans.

 Since there was no mirror, Orion asked his dad to take a digital photo so he could see how his Indian style shirt looked! |

 Everybody now has their little treasures and is ready to head for the church... |
